Slide 1 of 8
First time at Oglebay and won't be my last. Great, very spacious room with inside and outside access which I love. Plenty of amenities and super friendly staff. The fig and pig pizza at Skyline was worth the stay alone but the staff in the bar were excellent. Kyasia made killer old fashioneds and Tyler and Emmy kept things lively. Definitely will return.
Overall, we liked it. We stayed in the Byrd Wing in the Lodge and it was very dated. The toilet was so close to the bath tub and carpet in the bathroom areas aren't the most sanitary. Super confusing layout and honestly, not very kid friendly. No kids menus at any of the restaurants or highchairs/kids cups. We went down to the lake for the Fall Nights and beware there is zero lightening on the walking path down. We used our phone flashlights. Cars do fly around so be very alert! This place is nice for adults, kids I would take elsewhere next time. Also, no fridge or microwaves in rooms. Ice machines and most vending machines did not work properly. Staff was very friendly though! I think the property just needs a good upkeep/overhaul.
I have been there many times. The last time was shortly after COVID. Was not a great experience then a lot of issues. I wanted to wait a few years just got back. I will NEVER GO BACK!!! We were there a little before check in room was not ready till after 30 minute's after. Was not a big deal was told like years ago we are short staffed.Our room smelled like POT. Went down to front desk was told booked up and will look into it. Nothing happened the entire time was smelling like POT. Room is limited on outlet. The breakfast first day was horrible again told was short staffed didn't even have food out. There is no sanitation for cross contamination, with mushrooms and for vegetarians, and religious beliefs. House keeper didn't empty trash also cross contamination reusing an ice bag with dirty gloves not only that but left dirty glasses. Alot of complaints from staff saying short staffed but then standing around and complaining. The lights during the week weren't all on till Thursday. And they of course were out there before the weekend to make sure they are working. They are building a lion experience how about paying staff and making sure you have staff. I will never go back.
Chalets are musty, no microwave, no frig, have to go into lodge and walk down long halls to just get ice. Front desk would not accommodate and switch rooms. Night staff was helpful. Housekeepers were very sweet & helpful. Food was delicious from Skyline especially the fish.
Hadn’t stayed at the resort in 20 years. Thought I’d book a night for us to enjoy along with the Festival of Lights. The Festival of Lights was great. The carriage house shop was great with amazing staff. The check in experience and room was disappointing. We were coldly greeted and given a handicap room next to the maid closet. I didn’t book a handicap room so that was odd. The views are well disappointing looking at the hotel wing across the way. There were only three pillows on the bed for two people. The tv remote was taped together. The heater/ac unit was noisy. There was no bedside clock. The curtain header was falling down. The room in general looked dated and in need of a redo. Definitely not luxury resort. I really was hoping for a nice stay and unfortunately was disappointed.
You arrive at this beautiful resort by driving through 3 plus miles of twisted winding road. It was a heavenly beautiful place to relax and unwind. Definitely feels like spending a relaxing time at the countryside.
Subpar experience for the price. Booked in the summer during a 25% off promotion for Festival of Lights Package. We paid $550 for 2 nights and its baffling to believe that was the discounted price. The room was incredibly dated. The carpet looked like it was 100 years old. We were able to hear people inside of their rooms and down the hall the entire stay. It was SO noisy for my 1 year old to sleep. From 8-11pm all we heard was yelling and doors slamming. The breakfast buffet that was "included" in the package was not very good. My child eats anything and he even spit out the eggs because they were so gross. The playground is exceptionally dated. It still has metal slides. I came to Oglebay as a kid 30 years ago and its probably the same playground. They really hyped up the Christmas activities but they all sucked. Santa's village was just a tent with santa and cheap ornaments. The ice skating rink is made of teflon. There is NO ice. The build your own smores kits that were advertised all weekend were not included. It was $4 and they gave you one marshmallow, one graham cracker, and 3 pieces from a hershey chocolate bar that they broke off themselves. Those materials cost about 30 cents. There should at least be enough to make 2 smores for $4! We didnt know for dinner you needed reservations so we had lengthy waits. Once we got to eat, it took over 30 minutes for them to make 2 sandwiches and they got the order wrong so my 1 year old had a meltdown for french fries when I never ordered them; I ordered the fruit cup. And the price of the food was expensive as well. $18 for a cheeseburger with only chips as the side. Would not recommend unless you enjoy loud, dated, moneypits.
Came here for conference, Room was horrible. Room had a Murphy bed which was not what was advertised. Room Smelled like a bonfire. Carpet was filthy. No fan or anything to circulate air in room so I could hardly sleep and breathe. Multiple spiders in room. They overbooked the hotel so unable to upgrade or change room. Do Not Recommend. Go to the Hampton down the road.

Casino
Casinos & Gambling
Low-key lodging in a lively hotel offering a casino with a racetrack, slot machines & dining.
Slide 1 of 8
Great variety of games. It wasn't super busy when we went on a late Sunday night, so it was easy to find a seat at the slot machines I like to play. The slots were giving and taking pretty well, but came out with a little extra in the end. The complementary drink machine is a great addition to the visit. I just wish they weren't out of the raspberry tea I like, on that specific day, but not a big deal. Enjoyed my visit and will return sometime soon!
Casino is nice. They seem to be expanding and doing some work so I’ll be interested in seeing how that goes. I love greyhounds and highly recommend adopting one from there if you get a chance. They are terrific low maintenance pets and great companions. Slot machines were good and we were able to play a long time and the drinks were very reasonably priced. It’s in a bit of an odd location but a lot of fun
I am here in one of there rooms right now. I would suggest spending the night in the local area and take an Uber to bring you to the casino. We paid way too much money for this room. It is just a standard room. It was supposed to be a riverview, which you can barely see the river. There is one big bath towel, the rest are a child's sized. They give us one little bottle of shampoo, body wash, and conditioner for a couple. No place to hang a towel or washcloth. The room has a gross smell to it. The ice machine was broke. A coffee bar was on the 3rd floor, which we are on the fifth. We went to get coffee, no creamer, and barely any coffee left. This is the only thing you will receive free. Not worth the almost 400.00 I spent for a room. Never again!
We went to Wheeling Island on our first girls trip reunion with childhood friends. Two of us are experienced with casinos and 2 were not. I think now we have 4 Wheeling Island fans. The buffet was absolutely amazing. The slots were plenty and had most of my favorites and the dog races reminded me of trips there with my dad so many years ago. We had so much fun that we are making it an annual trip.
Always a blast and there are a wide variety of games and machines. Staff are very helpful. The atmosphere is very beautiful and comfortable. I think my favorite part about it honestly is the beautiful waterfall and the escalator is pretty badass too. Definitely be prepared to spend money tho… as for parking there is tons of parking. Also features an expensive buffet and hotel which I’ve never attended yet. Environment is very clean and for the most part people leave u alone and let u do ur thang. Valet parking is available
This has to be one of the absolute worst casinos that I been to. The layout is very strange. The selection and variety of games here is terrible. Anyone who believes Wheeling Island Casino has a good variety must have never been to any other casino. The payouts are disgustingly bad. $20 bet with a $1 denomination and only winning less than $100 feels like theft. Anyone who knows anything about slots knows that is practically unheard of. $1400 lost with not even being able to come close to even getting half of my money back. All of the jackpots are very, very low. Maybe this place is just for small spenders and low betters. I will say, the Friday buffet was very good. I have certainly walked out of casinos down money before, but never an experience like this without being able to win a single reasonable bonus. Thankfully I live over an hour away from this location so there will most likely never be a reasonable reason for me to return. Staff, however, were accommodating when I was setting up my first time player at this location. I always wait at least 24 hours to leave a bad review to see if my mood and outlook has changed, but it hasn’t.
Im not even sure how this place affords to leave the lights on, wait there not on. Its the darkest casino I have visited. Lots of the machines are off dont waste your time driving here its a ghost town, nothing worth seeing here, they havent even tried to make this place worth your time. Very disappointed. Get with the program offer people the crab legs again, some good music or at least turn the games on. When you offer people willing to come nothing there going to find somewhere else to spend there money.
Kiosk only when ordering food. It was a very bad program. Food was precooked and cold. Rooms lack basics like coffee,fridge and microwave. You have to fight for coffee in the morning on one floor. Service was very 🥶 cold. Was better before the remodeling.

Zoo
Zoos & Aquariums
Rare & endangered species reside in this large zoo with a variety of exhibits & nature programs.
Slide 1 of 8
Wonderful little zoo for children. My 1st grader LOVED IT! Not so big that you feel like you’re missing anything & the animals were all so active during the day we were there. We got to see the cheetahs run & eat! While on our trip I lost my prescription sunglasses… they not only found them for me but mailed them to my house! We will be back very soon!!
This is a great zoo! We have been here several times and we enjoyed it every time. The kids favorite is of course the 3 red Panda's. The pens are clean and are nice environments. Must see the albino Alligator, the Snow Leopard, the Maned Wolf, and the Kangaroo display.
This zoo is so cute and it's a great retirement home for the animals! I went with some friends to do the behind-the-scenes golf cart led tour and it was fabulous. Brin was our guide - she was so knowledgeable, funny, and nice. Excellent people skills! The facility is so well maintained and we got to tour the animal hospital as well. They take really good care of the animals here, even if it is a smaller zoo. The larger resort surrounding the zoo was also so beautiful! I hope to visit the resort for their holiday lights in the future.
My mom used to take us all the time in the 80s. Now I take my daughter and we both love going! The staff is friendly and informative. One young lady stopped and told us all about the personalities of the Tamarins. I appreciate the zoos efforts to grow, evolve, and offer better experiences for the animals.
So many unique animals, particularly the rare maned wolves and red pandas, that you can see up close and learn about. The zoo has a fun and vibrant atmosphere and also has plenty of educational opportunities about animals, nature and conservation. Whether you're a resident of WV or just passing through, absolutely worth the price of admission and then some.
I can't say enough about how knowledgeable and friendly all the staff are. They are truly passionate animal advocates and everyone I met seem to love their jobs. Try the animal encounters for an in-depth experience.
I surprised my husband with the maned wolf encounter for his birthday and it was an absolutely fantastic experience! We got to spend time with their two beautiful maned wolves Betts and Luna, feeding them and participating in a couple of fun activities. It was such a unique experience learning about these fascinating animals up close. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable and made the whole visit even more enjoyable. The wolves do have a bit of a skunky smell that they use to mark their territory but it is not that bad, don't let that stop you from booking this encounter. Every animal we saw looked heathy and well cared for, and the behind the scenes tour showed us just how much thought and effort goes into making the wolves comfortable. This may be a smaller zoo but it's full of heart and worth the visit, highly recommend!
Extremely kid friendly! The animals meet you at the windows! There are tons of play stations available for smaller children inside and outside! We are from Northern Ohio and the second I seen the zoo map I thought we wasted our time and money. I am so glad I am able to say I was wrong!
Wheeling Suspension Bridge

Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Historic suspension bridge spanning the Ohio River, dating to 1849 & once the largest in the world.
Slide 1 of 8
The bridge was closed to vehicles when I visited but open to pedestrians. There were some people roaming around that were homeless or appeared to be on the verge of homeless. I wouldn’t recommend going to this area as a female alone or after dark. Which is unfortunate since the bridge is lighted up quite nicely at night and the reflection on the Ohio River is beautiful.
I just like seeing suspension bridges. This was a very nice stop on a PA to OH and back road trip on Labor Day weekend. There is a road closed sign in front of the bridge but that’s just for vehicles. You can walk or bike across it. It was a beautiful day. We really enjoyed walking across and seeing the river. There is no fee and no ticket required. We parked on the street a half a block away. This is on the National Road heritage trail - there is a little info sign about the history of the bridge and the trail right there too. If you are parked on the side where heritage port is, you are crossing over to Wheeling Island and vice versa.
The Wheeling Suspension Bridge is a nice local landmark and great spot for a walk. The bridge was built in 1849 and has so much history to it. Near the entrance, there’s a sign that gives a lot of helpful information about the history and construction of the bridge. They were actually doing renovations to the bridge when I was there, but that didn’t hinder the experience. When walking across the bridge, there’s great views of the city of Wheeling, the Ohio River, and Wheeling Island. It’s a cool landmark to visit if you’re in the area.
I enjoyed my chance to walk across the Wheeling Suspension Bridge. What a piece of history is this beautiful bridge!
A great historic site in the midst of an historic town. Easy to walk to everything, lots of small shops to visit, and a lot of great architecture.
Was so beautiful and you can walk out on the bridge! Its free no tickets
It was the largest suspension bridge in the world from 1849 until 1851. The Bridge is a suspension bridge spanning the main channel of the Ohio River at Wheeling, West Virginia. The bridge was a very interesting engineering piece of history. We wanted to see the bridge but it was under renovation. They were doing bridge repair, so the bridge was closed to motor vehicles. We could only walk on one side of the street near the bridge and get some good pictures. Hope it reopens.
Very interesting stop to make if you can. Couple of nice restaurants and pubs close to the Wheeling side.

Museum
Art Museums
Museum featuring a collection of glass art & various crafts, plus glass-blowing demonstrations.
Slide 1 of 8
It all was beautiful!!! We found the glass blower and his wife to be very informative and so very nice. Highly recommend visiting here. Loved It!
The collection focuses on glass made in Wheeling WV, which is highly reputed for glassmaking. The quality of the collection does not disappoint, as they have many impressive items on display. The glass museum is part of a larger estate, which can keep tourists busy for a little while. While the museum has excellent collections, it lacked explanations or interactivity. Cases after cases of glass: nice to look at, not sure I learned much. Instead of devoting half of the building to a gift shop, perhaps the museum part deserves more space and a revamped approach to engaging visitors.
How neat! I have a love for glass. Especially carnival glass. We learned a lot about glass making in the area over the years and we got to look at absolutely beautiful pieces. We visited during the festival of the lights so we also walked the grounds and checked those out. They are beautiful! We bought the tickets that included the Mansion tour and that was interesting also! We definitely enjoyed our visit from Michigan!
We have been going to Oglebay for many years now around the Christmas holidays. We have always loved shopping at what used to be the Oglebay Carriage House and now the Oglebay Institute Glass Museum. They have some nice Christmas items there, however just not the same shopping experience. We definitely miss what Oglebay used to be compared to what it is today.
We were surprised that it cost $15..00 to visit the house and museum. There's no discount for seniors or vets. But once we got into the museum we were very pleased with the displays. The light and the color that were reflected was super. The historical information posted on the walls about Wheeling being the glass factory capitol for so many years.
Beautiful exhibit of locally made glass. Gift shop items were a little pricey, but definitely a worthwhile trip. We went during the Christmas festival of lights and it was very nice. The lodge is beautiful and the price for an overnight stay is very reasonable.
Interesting place to visit amazing to learn so much about the history of making glass.Displays were nice ,great place to visit staff friendly, also pictures of gift shop
Got to see glass blowers and evolution of glass in wheeling. People are great too. All items in gift shop not local though.

Nostalgic place with extensive exhibits of classic toys as well as operating model train layouts.
Slide 1 of 8
The grandchildren 5 and 7 really enjoyed this . Each room had hands on activities in addition to walls of museum items to look at. My husband and I enjoyed going down memory lane seeing toys from the past. We used Groupon for adult tickets.
We happened on this museum after seeing a sign for it when traveling along highway 70... It happened there was also a sale with vendors the same day we stopped by... We had a nice time... it was a great place to stop... and kid friendly as well...
So this place a bit quirky but so much fun for the kids. Toys from decades past and recent times too. Lots of trains and lots of hands on displays. Even some free pinball machines for the 70s crew.
This place was so much fun! As a board game collector the game room was AWESOME! I loved how so many games were opened with their pieces and boards on display. I really wish the monopoly collection had been on display. The cool toys were so much fun to look at. The radio control trucks with the working platform was a blast to play with! I also love trains and the layouts with the cool buttons to push to make different things happen. I was a happy "kid!" The building, an old school, that the museum is in is pretty cool as well. Would love to get to visit again sometime when I have more time to look at everything in more depth.
Nostalgic & full of items that will bring a smile to your face. Great place to visit & reminisce of one’s childhood.
Visiting the Kruger Street Toy and Train Museum is a fun and nostalgic experience. The old-school toy and train museum is literally located inside a former school, giving it a very quaint ambiance. This place had several rooms full of old dolls, action figures, toy vehicles, pin ball machines, Christmas villages, legos, antique artifacts, and so much more. Each room had a different theme and can bring back so many nostalgic memories for people of all ages. The most impressive part was the massive model train sets that went through different themed villages. There was even a model amusement park with train roller coasters. The staff there is also very friendly and willing to answer all questions. It was a very fun experience and one I would highly recommend for people of all ages.
Absolutely amazing! We loved this place. Packed with toys, but very neatly and attractively organized. There are a lot of things to view, but also a lot of things to play and do. The museum and individual rooms are arranged in a very family friendly way. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. This place also has the BEST gift shop grab bags I've ever purchased!
This museum was fantastic!! It is a small place, but it is well organized and presented in a way that engages both adults and children. Each room is focused on a type of toy and features something for the kids to play with in the center of the room, allowing parents to browse the exhibits on the walls. Several rooms have interactive displays (model trains, Knex, Lego). There are several very impressive displays and some classic toys available for kids to play with. We could have spent a couple hours perusing all the museum had to offer. Very fun!!

Slide 1 of 8
This was a great place to see a concert. As you can see I saw the Beach Boys with Mike Love. They were amazing! Sounded awesome and I had a great time. The theater was impressive and a great place to experience the Beach Boys live. Acoustics were good, atmosphere had a great vibe and the workers were incredibly nice and helpful. I had a blast and from Pittsburgh it was an easy drive. Highly recommend going if your on the fence. Very cool venue. Would go again when another artist I like comes to Wheeling WV!!
Magical theater! Canada in 3 more years, the Capital Music Hall will be 100 years old. This stage is legendary to country music, artists and fans. There were two live shows every Saturday night which were broadcast on the 50,000 watt station WWVA 1170 to 18 states and 9 Canadian provinces. Shows of all types are now held weekly. A Must-see!
Nice theater. The staff is wonderful and the seats are comfortable. Only issue was too much ambient lighting during the concert, which tended to wash out the stage lighting. But we really enjoyed our experience and will definitely return.
Incredible venue. Was our first time there and we will definitely be going back. Staff was Incredible as well. Fantastic evening. Parking garage was closed, but there was a lovely lady next door with inexpensive spaces. Definitely recommend.
What a beautiful & comfortable theater...Their seats are large enough to fit my BIG BOOTY into....plus....Cup Holders
Very nice place for concerts or plays. No really bad seats and they're cushioned, very clean and loyal to it's history.
Awesome. We were there to see Little River Band. They were awesome as always. I love the capital theater. Very cool place to see an awesome band.
Absolutely beautiful place. The staff was wonderful and very helpful.

The staff was so friendly and helpful! Also, the displays were absolutely gorgeous! Would definitely recommend to anyone in the area that loves history ❤️
I was the only person touring, and the staff were very nice and friendly. They asked if I wanted to watch a 15 minute documentary, made sure to let me know the layout of the building with elevators/bathrooms/what each floor had, and stopped to explain the history of the main rooms. My favorite part was the documentary, learning about the court room area, and the make your own flag room! I bought postcards from the giftshop.
I'm passionate about history. I despised it in primary school, but now, I cannot get enough. When I go to places like Independence Hall, it warms my heart. The people who have taken such time and care to restore and preserve historic sites such as this one deserve great accolade. This is the site of West Virginia's birth, and they do a great job of telling the story. In addition you will find beautiful antique pieces throughout. This building is beautifully restored. The museum is FREE. The staff were very friendly, and the gift shop is definitely one of the most affordable. Travel tip: there is free parking in a small lot next to the building if you are visiting.
Cool to see how WV broke off from VA and became the first and only state to break off from another state
Awesome museum for the birthday place of the great state of West Virginia. Staff super nice and full of history themselves. We will definitely stop again
This place is a fantastic museum and it is free! Unbelievable, but true. Four floors of jam packed History. The woman who greeted us was welcoming, pleasant, and fun to talk to. We especially enjoyed her made up British accent.
Small but interesting museum. All about west Virginia
This place is filled with history! The receptionist was very knowledgeable about the building and could answer just about any questions we had. This is a definite must if you are visiting this area!

Arena
Sights & Landmarks
Slide 1 of 8
This is a really nice stadium with a great fan base! The bathrooms were really clean, and the seating was set up to where there wasn't a bad seat in the house! This was my first time coming to this stadium and watching the Wheeling Nailers. It was a great home opener win, and the game was super exciting! I'm used to going to the Pittsburgh penguins game, but the way this game was and intermissions are ran, you really feel like you're part of the team as opposed to another person in the crowd. I was engaged from start to finish from the music played to the way the intermissions include the crowd, I really enjoyed my experience here and will most definitely be returning for another Nailers game! It is family friendly, and the crowd doesn't get out of hand even with them selling alcohol there. It was worth the hour drive to see this team play, and I look forward to returning!
WesBanco Arena offers a solid event experience with a few notable pros and cons. On the positive side, the seating layout ensures excellent views of the action from nearly every seat in the stadium, making it easy to enjoy the event. However, there are a few areas for improvement. The lack of cup holders in the seating area can be inconvenient, especially for those juggling drinks and snacks. Additionally, the seats themselves offer limited legroom, which might make longer events less comfortable for taller attendees. The most significant downside, though, is the post-event parking situation. Exiting the parking garage was chaotic, with no personnel directing traffic. This led to long delays and frustration for many attendees. A more organized approach to managing traffic flow would make a significant difference. Overall, while the arena has its strengths, addressing these logistical and comfort issues would enhance the overall experience.
Fun atmosphere older building with renovations outside. Super garage next door. Good selection of local favorite foods plus chain food chik-fil-a. Pepsi products. Some seating seems odd for hockey at least. Great crowd. For sensory sensitive very very loud acoustics.
Went to see Disney on Ice. The seats were great and the kids got invited to be part of the show. The kids loved it. I would highly recommend this smaller venue for these types of events. We'll be coming back!
What fun, small arena but nice as you can see everything going on. The bathrooms were always clean and food in drinks in close proximity. Saw the Miners play, box office staff were super friendly and helpful in choosing my seats.
Sat pretty close to the stage, on folding chairs. It was extremely tight, especially when all the seats were filled. I could easily imagine situation turning dangerous because of how the seats were connected and everyone was so packed in. Also, the sound of the arena wasn't great for a concert. I gave 2 stars because the refreshments were cheap and the employees friendly.
Very nice arena, went for a nailers hockey game. Family friendly and lots of fun. Great good options. Clean and lots of history on display. They really get the crowd involved and make it a fun experience.
I've been to multiple wheeling nailers games and I have never had a bad experience.you do have to buy tickets outside and then go in, they do have a wheelchair accessible entrance but there are multiple flights of stairs once you get in and I believe that there are no ramps. The arena itself is very clean and organized and I have never got lost. They also have multiple score boards so you can see the score easily. Also the very back row seats are cheaper and I actually prefer them because you can get a good view and they do have bars where you can drink and watch the game. There is also plenty of parking outside and if you ever get a chance I highly recommend a hockey game for a family or personal experience. I guarantee you will have fun!

Great place the staff is wonderful the playground banquet space and pool area are all very clean perfect place to take the family plenty of things to do you can ride the paddle boats go swimming indoor ice rink what highly recommend the sunsets are beautiful
Loved it here, myself and my family had a great time. My hall had a picnic here it was great they do birthdays and other events. The pool is the biggest I've been in, they have gold paddle boating and much more. Had a great time
Great fun fest!! Tongue and Cheek were awesome!!
My sister and I had a very pleasant afternoon sitting in the shade overlooking the big pond. We took our own folding chairs so we could sit anywhere. We could not see any ducks nor geese anywhere near the big pond. The big pond is located near the putt putt golf. Fun paddle boats are available
Wheeling park is a great place to get in a hike! We did 5 miles it was a beautiful day!
Nice 9 hole short track that was in town. The fairways were in decent shape. The greens seemed to be well maintained. Plenty of parking there and greens fee with cart was reasonably priced. There were vending machines but no snack bar in operation. Also has a pool, tennis, part, band stand, skate rink, playground, and put-put golf.
Finally, we went to check out the new playground. It is fantastic! We really enjoyed it and will be back for sure. No more broken attractions and lots caution tape! Whoo! Also, this playground has always seemed to be the single dad hang out 🤣. We will be making many more trips in the future.

A great place to stop in Wheeling! Numerous miscellaneous goods/gift shops, and spaces to host events. Had a great time talking to locals!
Great place visit! The shops are great and River City is one of the best in town.
beautiful space, cool shop! I love that they have local art with info as to what artist/location. Bought my team beautiful ceramic flowers!
Nice, but I liked it much more when it was on the 2nd floor. We hoped to also stop at The Prodical Daughter right next door to the Wheeling Artisan Center. But despite being listed as open (on the Prodigal Daughter's website), it was closed.
I just love the shops. Prodigal Daughter is unique and edgy. The art center supports local artists and crafters. Great gift shop especially for all things West Virginia.
I thoroughly enjoyed being at Wheeling Artisan Center. It is a unique place to visit. I definitely plan to go back.
I really liked this store. Lots of neat things practically all from West Virginia. Jennifer was very nice and informative and even offered to help my girlfriend who uses a cane exit the store because the main elevator was not in service due to the renovation taking place. I highly recommend going there even with the renovation happening. You won't be disappointed.
Emmie, at the Wheeling Artisan Center Shop, welcomed me and my granddaughter to Wheeling so graciously! What a lovely shop in an historic building that also includes River City Restaurant in the heart of Wheeling, WV.

Slide 1 of 8
It all was beautiful!!! We found the glass blower and his wife to be very informative and so very nice. Highly recommend visiting here. Loved It!
The collection focuses on glass made in Wheeling WV, which is highly reputed for glassmaking. The quality of the collection does not disappoint, as they have many impressive items on display. The glass museum is part of a larger estate, which can keep tourists busy for a little while. While the museum has excellent collections, it lacked explanations or interactivity. Cases after cases of glass: nice to look at, not sure I learned much. Instead of devoting half of the building to a gift shop, perhaps the museum part deserves more space and a revamped approach to engaging visitors.
How neat! I have a love for glass. Especially carnival glass. We learned a lot about glass making in the area over the years and we got to look at absolutely beautiful pieces. We visited during the festival of the lights so we also walked the grounds and checked those out. They are beautiful! We bought the tickets that included the Mansion tour and that was interesting also! We definitely enjoyed our visit from Michigan!
We have been going to Oglebay for many years now around the Christmas holidays. We have always loved shopping at what used to be the Oglebay Carriage House and now the Oglebay Institute Glass Museum. They have some nice Christmas items there, however just not the same shopping experience. We definitely miss what Oglebay used to be compared to what it is today.
We were surprised that it cost $15..00 to visit the house and museum. There's no discount for seniors or vets. But once we got into the museum we were very pleased with the displays. The light and the color that were reflected was super. The historical information posted on the walls about Wheeling being the glass factory capitol for so many years.
Beautiful exhibit of locally made glass. Gift shop items were a little pricey, but definitely a worthwhile trip. We went during the Christmas festival of lights and it was very nice. The lodge is beautiful and the price for an overnight stay is very reasonable.
Interesting place to visit amazing to learn so much about the history of making glass.Displays were nice ,great place to visit staff friendly, also pictures of gift shop
Got to see glass blowers and evolution of glass in wheeling. People are great too. All items in gift shop not local though.

STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL CATHEDRAL WITH AMAZING PEOPLE AND PRIESTS WHO GIVE BACK TO THEIR COMMUNITY AND THEIR STATE. They feed over 400 families in Appalachia monthly. Remarkable and humbling. Thank you Father Pen!!!
Lovely place to pray and worship! I love the artwork.
Absolutely stunning. What a beautiful beautiful cathedral. Definitely Wheeling's.gem
Beautiful place, good for quiet reflection but as a trans girl I just didn't feel comfortable here.
Beautiful and well-maintained, holy and sacred proud to now be enrolled as a parishioner.
Great wings. Good beer selection. Super bartenders. Nice place to watch a game. I'll be back.
Beautiful inside this church! Was here to paint
Lovely place of worship. Prayerful atmosphere and beautiful design with paintings are so attractive. The choir and the team on weekend liturgy were awesome. The Saturday service is being broadcast on local television channels. It is a blessing for many people.

A nice clean park, with beautiful views, they have a splash pad now for kids. We were here on a Saturday afternoon and we didn’t feel unsafe at any point. There actually wasn’t very many people around. There were a couple of homeless people, however they weren’t disturbing anyone. They also host a number of events/concerts here.
Very cool place to just chill, take a break and contemplate life. Parking nearby is free on the weekend but you have to pay during week. You have to use a parking app and bring up the zone you are in that's on the meter.
Very nice park, and pretty clean. Oly issue is one area I wouldn't walk by myself. A guy puking and shaking. Sorry, but facts. Mostly felt safe, patrolling officers went by twice in an hour. Wesbanco Arena , (hockey) is right there too.
This is a nice waterfront park in downtown Wheeling. Lots of seating and a beautiful view. There a several options for restaurants nearby. The park is well maintained and clean. The only negative is there are always a number of homeless just loitering, although we have never been harassed.
I have been there twice and it is nice because you connect with nature.
Beautiful scenery and the river was great too see for the 1st time!
Beautiful little trail lots of nature deer groundhogs etc.
The wheeling heritage port is a well maintained area of wheeling where the city hosts a multitude of evens and festivals for all ages to enjoy. 4th of July, Italian Festival, and the Ogden half marathon are just a few of the events that are held annually at this location.

We really love this place! This historic home which is on the National Register is a beautiful place to enjoy a Saturday afternoon tea with friends. The food is wonderful and the gift shop has a little bit of everything. If you want some wonderful homemade scones, cucumber sandwiches, chicken salad finger sandwiches and some wonderful tea, make sure you come to visit Gretchen and Joe. This is a must-do!!
Have been many times for the wonderful teas at Eckhart House with terrific homemade sandwiches and desserts Gretchen makes. Particularly love the holiday teas when Joe shares historic stories of Wheeling and the house specifically that are very charming and informative.
My women's church group went for tea at the Eckart House. It was such a lovely experience and the host was a wonderful man. He gave us some history of the house and the tea. The tea itself is worth the trip, it's delicious. :)
This is a highlight of Wheeling!! We will go back.
Fun place to visit.
